Oil pickups are a common failure point in the FA20D, BRZ, FR-S and 86 engines, especially when pushing your Subaru to its limits. The factory pickup can lead to severe engine damage or catastrophic failure due to the screen dislodging under high oil pressure, allowing debris and even fragments of the screen itself to enter the engine. Subaru’s design is also notorious for restricting oil flow, potentially causing oil starvation. The IAG Performance Oil Pickup for the 2013-2020 FA20D BRZ / FR-S / 86 is designed to solve these issues. With an enhanced design that improves oil flow and durability, it offers a dependable solution to the common problems associated with OEM oil pickups. IAG’s Oil Pickup will keep your engine performing at its best, no matter how hard you drive.

The OEM strainer screens are the weak link in the Subaru factory pickups. The factory tack-welds that hold the screen in place block part of the screen, obstructing oil flow, while the heat from sloppy welding on the screen’s surface causes it to become brittle and prone to breakage. IAG Performance’s Oil Pickup design addresses these issues by incorporating the use of a robust mesh screen that is pressure fitted between a 2-piece housing cast from premium quality 304 stainless steel. The screen is held securely in place by the housing, which is hand TIG welded with care to prevent overheating or causing obstructions on the screen’s surface. Notably, there is no welding done to the screen itself, protecting it from damage and ensuring that it flows freely. Additionally, we've eliminated the retaining ring, which increases the surface area by nearly 32% over the OEM version. Whether your FA20D, BRZ, FR-S or 86 engine is modified or not, the IAG Oil Pickup is built to stand strong against the pressure of the most demanding driving conditions.

The IAG Performance Oil Pickup is designed to enhance oil flow efficiency in your Subaru’s engine, featuring a larger inner diameter oil pickup tube that significantly boosts oil flow capacity compared to the OEM version. The pickup tube's thicker walls provide increased strength and durability over the factory design. Unlike the OEM Subaru oil pickup, which has a restrictive 45-degree bend, IAG’s design includes only a slight bend, ensuring unrestricted oil flow. Additionally, the rearward position of the pickup tube inside the oil pan provides more direct access to oil, optimizing flow to the engine and improving overall performance.

Since the oil pickup is responsible for delivering oil to the rest of the engine, its reliable performance is vital. The IAG Performance Oil Pickup surpasses the Subaru OEM version in several key ways. Here are the key improvements that set it apart:

• Heavy-duty screen designed to stand up to heat and pressure
• Pickup housing is cast from premium quality 304 stainless steel.
• Screen’s surface is completely free of obstructions; no welds or retaining ring means a free-flowing surface area that is nearly 32% over the OEM version.
• Larger inner diameter oil pickup tube that significantly boosts oil flow capacity.
• Strategically placed pickup tube in oil pan provides direct access to oil for engine.
